LEAD: Three Palombi Students took time to speak to Principal Sisi and answer some questions about Palombi. (Favorite thing, favorite teacher, and favorite memory). Thank you to Sawyer, Connor, and Maddy!
Sawyer
I like how organized it is. I know where I need to go and what I need to do to be successful.
Probably Ms. Calabrese because she is really nice. Mr. Luna because he is very helpful to us. And Mr. Santopadre because he is really funny and he has a good sense of sarcasm.
My favorite memory of Palombi is when I started to get a hang of my schedule, then school started to be really fun.
Leah
My favorite thing about Palombi is the people. There is a lot of diversity in people’s friend groups and interests.
My favorite teacher is Ms.Dahowski. I really like her music classes and Palombi players.
My favorite memory is the Palombi Players performances in 6th grade!
Maddie
My favorite thing about Palombi is how caring and understanding the teachers are.
My favorite teachers are Ms. Kaplan, Ms. Hagy, and Mrs. Banner. I think this because they are always open to have a conversation with me about anything. They give good advice and are willing to answer any questions.
My favorite memory of Palombi is when we do the staff versus student volleyball games on the Lead Fun Days.
